The factory rocker doesn't have a "cup" for oil to pool into and thus somewhat starves the bearing underneath. Nate, the machinist, is using the Smith Bros. trunnions, as he is thoroughly impressed with their quality. He's right at 420$, also.. but he trues the tip.. and that includes shipping. https://instagram.com/p/BBJHMcBwGQY/ |
That kit looks to be the same as the Straub kit. We're building a holding fixture to do the same thing to the tips of the rockers but I don't think that's why the needle bearing kits are failing.
